UNITED
NATIONS, March 24 (Xinhua) -- A
representative of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on Monday
blamed the United States for the failure to resume the Six-Party Talks, citing
Washington's "strategic patience and rejecting all dialogue. "
"The
U.S. is in pursuit of strategic patience and they are rejecting all
dialogue," Ambassador Ri Tong Il, deputy permanent representative of the
DPRK to the UN, said here at a press conference. "Only they are interested
in creating tension on the Korean Peninsula. No dialogue."
"What
they are saying, precondition of the Six-Party Talks, is only pretext for their
rejection of dialogue," he said. "The DPRK has been keeping, and
remaining, open toward (the) Six-Party Talks without setting any preconditions.
Still the DPRK is open, but, I don't believe the U.S. will come to the
table."
The Six-Party
Talks involving China, DPRK, Japan, Russia, South Korea and the United States
began in 2003 but got bogged down in 2009 when Pyongyang representatives walked
out.
China has
recently been trying to get the talks resumed by organizing an informal meeting
between the six nations. However, the United States insists the DPRK dismantle
its nuclear program, as Pyongyang has committed to earlier, before the talks
are resumed.
The DPRK is
under UN Security Council sanctions because of its nuclear program.
Also on
Monday at the opening of the Nuclear Security Summit in The Hague, The
Netherlands, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged the DPRK "to comply
with all relevant Security Council resolutions and resolve the problem by
peaceful means."
His remarks
came in the context of a general appeal for all states involved in the 2015
nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference "to address the
legitimate interest of non- nuclear States in receiving unequivocal and
legally-binding security assurances from nuclear-weapon states." He
specifically named the DPRK and Iran.
"Together,
we must ensure that nuclear weapons are seen by States as a liability, not an
asset," Ban said.
